It was anticipated that Arsenal would be signing a midfielder in the summer transfer window to give Mikel Arteta better options in that position. However, with the uncertain future of Granit Xhaka, it may lead to the Gunners needing to sign two players.
According to Italian news outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma boss Jose Mourinho is determined to bring Xhaka to the club this summer. The report goes on to say that the Switzerland international is the first name on Mourinho’s shortlist in the window.
The Gunners had already needed a midfielder in the window regardless of Xhaka’s future. But with the 29-year-old potentially leaving the club, Edu would certainly need to bring in two players.
